SMC TV: A New Media
by Bobbi Kienast
St. Mary’s College is pre­sently
being afforded the op­portunity
to have its own closed
circuit, campus-wide television
channels. If all that is presently
planned goes well, then this
new form of campus-wide com­munication
and entertainment
should be ready to go next
fall.
The newly formed SMC-TV
would be broadcast within the
campus community on television
channels 2 and 6. The project
will be advised by Ed DeLong,
the college’s Media Services
Librarian and will be broadcast
from the library, with the
tentative possibility of expan­sion
to one other site on cam­pus.
SMC-TV would operate much
like the college radio station,
WSMC, but with a visual di­mension.
Students would have
the opportunity to have their
own television programs, either
regularly or on a special pre­sentation
basis. This type of
experience is not offered in
many colleges of St. Mary’s
size. The station would most
likely start with a degree of
limited programming, but would
have the potential of expanding
to a full time schedule offering
a variety of presentations.
The television station could
be the source of broadcasting
not only student productions,
but rented or purchased video­tapes
of popular movies, as well
as campus events including con­certs,
dances, sports functions,
plays, and lectures. SMC-TV
could also provide a campus
news service and advertising for
upcoming student activities. The
station might eventually be able
to broadcast paid advertisements
for local businesses.
In addition to the communi­cation
and entertainment aspects
o f the television station, it
would also provide hands-on
experience to students hoping
to pursue a career in the audio /
visual field. To have produced
and conducted a television pro­gram
would be an impressive
asset on student resumes. If
the idea of a campus television
channel is enthusiastically re­ceived,
it might eventually lead
to actual credit-earning classes
on the art of T.V. broadcasting
and programming. Professor
Robin Bates is considering the
possibility of having a non­credit
course providing instruc­tion
on video-taping and film-

INTERVIEW
by Ms. Liz Sampson
Thursday, February 24 or

p.m.. Old Bookstore.
Ninety percent of all em­ployers

primarily upon the em­ployment

which will combine
lectures and role play, will
help you prepare for that
important conversation. Learn
how to prepare for the inter­view,
make a strong presenta­tion,

can win the interview you can
win the job.
10B SEARCH
STRATEGIES
by Mr. Gavin Kerr
Thursday, March 3 or Friday,
March 4 at 12:30 p.m., Old
Bookstore.
It takes most graduates three
to six months to find the job
which is right for them. This
workshop is designed to help
you develop the strategy which
will effectively market your
skills and lessen the time it will
take you to get that important
first job. Methods to be dis­cussed
will include mass resume
mailings, answering want ads,
“guerilla tactics,” and effective
use of contact networking. Get
a head start now so you can
make a smooth transition fol­lowing
graduation.
CAREER INFORMATION
FAIR
Thursday, March 24, 10:00 -
8:00 p.m., Montgomery Hall.
The entire day will be filled
with events which will help you
gain first hand information
about the career opportunities
available to you as a liberal
arts graduate. At 10:00 a.m.,
Mr. Russ Bruch, a nationally
known expert in career plan­ning,
will be conducting a
workshop to help you identify
the skills you have to offer to
employers. At 1:30 he will
show you ways to use your
skills most effectively through
careful career planning. Mr.
Bruch is an associate of Mr.
Richard Bolles, author of the
best seller What Color is your
Parachute?, and shares his
philosophy and approach for
helping people find satisfying
and rewarding careers^ The day
will be culminated by the
Career Fair itself. Representa­tives
of twenty-five industries
and / or professions with a
demonstrated track record of
employing liberal arts graduates

ing if the television station is
in fact achieved.
The television channel pro­spect
is dependent on two
necessary factors: interested stu­dents
and money. The library
already has limited means cf
video production and is soon
to receive color equipment.
Funding will be needed for
additional lighting, renting or
purchasing videotapes, and fu­ture
expansion. Most important,
though, to the success and
achievement of the campus-wide
television channels is the
interest and participation o f St.
Mary’s students. The program
needs interested people to or­ganize
and carry out the steps
to its realization. The potential
is there for this unique op­portunity
— it just needs to be
constructively pursued. Anyone
interested in the formation of
SMC-TV, please contact Ed
DeLong in the library.
Exchange
An Incentive
If there was ever to be a
perfect time to travel and study
in Mexico, this summer would
be it. Due to Mexico’s recent
financial difficulties the Ameri­can
dollar is enjoying a very
favorable exchange rate. All
students interested in going to
Mexico on the Summer Study
Abroad trip are urged to attend
an informational meeting Mon­day,
Feb. 28 at 7:00 p.m. in
the MH Faculty Lounge. This
opportunity to get so much
value for the American dollar
may never be repeated.

Israel Horovitz’s play, met with great success as it played to packed
houses at all of its performances last weekend.

Student Explores Law Career
by Mary Stakem
In the middle of your first
semester of college life, it is
hard, if even possible, to think
of graduating and working in
the “real world” one day. Some
students manage to take the
fear in stride while others
prefer to put off graduation
until they no longer recognize
students on campus. Drew
Bailey, like 25 other SMC
students this semester, has
chosen to get a taste of the
working world while still earn­ing
credits towards his diploma.
As a St. Mary’s College In­tern,
Andrew Bailey is working
at the Office of the Public
Defender in Baltimore, Mary­land.
A former resident o f Caro­line
Dorm, Drew will be gradu­ating
as a political science
major in May. “ I’ve been in­terested
in law for a couple of
years,” said Drew in a recent
phone interview. His work with
the Public Defender’s Office
will better prepare him for law
school next fall. He has already
applied to the University of
Baltimore and the University of
Maryland Law School, he said.
Working directly under
Joanne Suder, Assistant Public
Defender, Drew arrives at the
office about 8:30 weekday
mornings and stays until 5:00
p.m. A long day by most stan­dards
but, “There’s always work
to be done,” Drew commented.
“Several times I have gone
to the Baltimore City Jail and
Penitentary to interview wit­nesses
to crimes,” Drew said.
“ I also talk to defendants
who are indicted and are in
jail awaiting trial.”
“The work is very fast
paced,” Drew remarked. “You
have to work quickly. It is
more stimulating than the class­room.”
SMC interns are not generally
paid positions so Drew lives
at home in Cockeysville with
his mother and brother while
interning.
“There is no one on
salary positions this semester,”
said Roberta Kaskel, Intern­ship
Coordinator, although some
students are working part-time
to afford to live near their
intern site.
The internship program af­fords
upper-classmen the op­portunity
to experience and
evaluate a career field of their
choice and earn 16 credits at
the same time. Last fall there
were nine interns posted around
the Washington, D.C. area and
this semester there are 26.
Students interested in this
program for next fall should
contact Roberta Kaskel’s office
at Anne Arundel 101. The
deadline for applications is April
